Fishing Report 26/07/2015

I arrived at the Strathpine boat ramp at about 11.00am. I was using a 6'6 2kg - 4kg Graphite Rod with a Abu 2500 Reel loaded with 6LB Berkley Fireline in Green with a rods length of 4LB Fluoro Leader tied by a Albright Knot, i knew low tide was going to be at 11.54am and the wind was a 2knot NW. The first lure i used was a Squidgy Pro Wriggler 100mm in Bloodworm on TT Headlockz Finesse 1/0 1/6oz i would cast it down tide and did 5cast with a slow draw retrieve then 5casts with a hop hop retrieve then 5casts with a rip rip retrieve and had no success.

I then changed to Berkley Gulp 2" Sand Worm in bloody on TT Headhunters #2 1/8oz as the tide went into a slack stage i was using a hop hop retrieve as well as dead sticking on the bottom for 10seconds and started to notice small bait schools bust up around the boat ramp. About 12.00pm i hooked my first fish after a very slow first hour and it felt like small bream the way it was making headshakes and trying to run but it was a toadfish about 10cm long (it was a surprise since how hard it was going) i caught a 4more and i ran out of gulp worms and tied on a Berkley Gulp 2" Crabby in Black on the same Jig Head and my first cast i hooked a PB Toadfish (didn't get a photo ) but it made the reel chirp twice and after that i ended up leaving at about 12.30pm and having lunch

Beautiful Day (notice the cloud on the water)

You need to try cabbage tree creek near baxters jetty or go down to hays inlet at redcliffe , fish both 1 hour before to 1 hour after low tide, use your bloodworm.
